Can anybody help me out?

I’m stuck on No.’s 2 - 25 - 63 - 67 - 97.

Sad, I know, but brought back some memories.

63 is KC and the Sunshine Band.

[redzonerocker]

correct, & number 67 is definately rainbow.

[Guess]

You've done well to get that far. I could name about 40%, 40% I would find out with research. The rest are don't knows or stabs in the dark. (Not that I would want a stab in the dark with number 17 around).

Anyway maybe number 2 is Europe. Right number, right hair color, right image. If not someone of that soft metal ilk.

Thanks for those chaps.

I got No. 2 last night, REO Speedwagon. That just leaves No. 25 & 97 to go.

Anyone now these bands.







No 25 looks like a Rockabilly band of some kind.

The one with the Rockabilly band is Matchbox, see link below

a guess at 97, could possibly be buggles? 'video killed the radio star'?

[Guess]

You are quite right but I can not see the YouTube site but found this one with exactly the same photo. I sure that the one on the left is Jockey.

No it's not the Buggles. Thanks for trying though.

It's a seven piece band, so they must have played a lot of instuments.

[redzonerocker]

after much research i found the answer.funnily enough i used to love this group in the late 70's early 80's until they went a bit to commercial.
the photo of them isnt that great, but its the electric light orchestra.

Thanks for that, when I read your post I thought, of course it is. Your right the pic is not very good.

Thanks everybody, I now have all 100. Sad I know but I got nearly all of them first time round and was determined to find out who the ones were I couldn't get.

I'm sure no one else is interested but if you want to now the 100 bands listed I'll post on here.
